I thought the ending to the third book was..............not really an ending at all. I always thought it was supposed to be three books. Did they revisit the idea since it was pretty much left wide open at the end of book 3? Or was it always planned to be four books?

I have to say, based on the cover of 3(sorry I keep writing 3, but I can't remember the title), I expected Jax to be dead after confronting vader. And I actually wanted that to happen, because in reality i don't want too many more Jedi surviving through the dark times. I don't mind that there are some, but too many just diminishes the whole significance of the purge and where we start in episode 4.

On thing is for certain, with the amount of time between books 3 and 4, I will have to re-read 1-3 prior to it coming out to re-familiarize myself with the characters.

A fourth one?! I couldn't even get through the first.

Meh. The third one was really contrived, so I'm not very excited about a fourth._________________All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.

Overall, I thought the three Coruscant Night books were pretty good. I wouldn't say I'm excited for a fourth one, but I'll certainly buy it and give it a chance. I'd like to see more about the Paladins and the gun totting Jedi. I thought that was a really interesting idea. Plus the Coruscant Nights books had some really neat stuff on alien species. I'd love to see more of that._________________

Ever since Emperor Palpatine’s Order 66–which called for the execution of all Jedi–Jax Pavan is the last Knight around to fight the dark side of the Force. Together with his droid I-5, Jax has eluded Vader time and again, all the while wreaking havoc against the Empire through the underground resistance on Coruscant. But now the Rebel’s leader on the city-planet has been captured, and it’s up to the Last Jedi to ride again…possibly for one final adventure.”

Right now they are not connecting this with the Coruscant Nights series. This is being treated as a standalone now that using characters from the series._________________

I think the entire series was amazing and that yes they did leave it wide open to continue on. Now its a good series because its different then any of the other stories of the jedi out there and it brings into question many aspects of what makes a jedi a true jedi, but we'll get back on topic here. i wanna know who the person running the star wars EU department is because they need to either be fired or re evauluated for leaving that series open and then letting a whole other book be placed into the timeline. and if the book is after coruscant nights then they will have to end it with jax in that book and fill in the gaps i agree with the whole idea that not everyone should be making it through the dark times because it doesnt make the flow of continuity straight however they still have at least 2 or three books left for jax and his roller coaster life.._________________"the end does not justify the means if we are to be jedi true followers of the light then we cannot allow the end to justify the means."

So they're jumping ahead by almost two decades?_________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar.

What makes you think so? The Rebel leader part? That's just the Coruscant resistance, which Jax is a part of, it's not the Alliance to Restore the Republic rebels.

well your right he isnt the leader and who knows maybe they can get away with out killing him but in the end what about the coruscant nights series thats what this really is about the fact that so much was left on the edge of knife. what happens to jax and laranth now? what happened to the jedi adept? etc etc etc. but we need to look at the facts as well. we already know there are the publishing companies who for whatever reason love releasing books out of sequence and more or less giving the author the run of the galaxy closing in the doors around the authors who have to fill in that missing history. but the truth is michael is only closing the doors in on himself if he does this book as a stand alone not only will he have to either connect it to the series but he will also have to end jax with this book. we gotta be reasonable this is roughly ten more or less years before look destroys the first death star and although thats a long time in the EU thats not enough in some stories or trilogies. so we are left to ask our selves will jax become one with the force or will he disappear quietly into the unknown? quell? the core? we will find out more hopefully soon and please anyone who digs up dirt email me it thank you all and may you shoot stright and die brave_________________"the end does not justify the means if we are to be jedi true followers of the light then we cannot allow the end to justify the means."

I don't think this will be the last book we see Jax in. I think the reason they're billing it as a standalone rather than another Coruscant Nights book is just a marketing thing. They want new readers to feel like they can read this without reading the others. I don't think it means the rest of us are going to get short changed. Quite the contrary, I think this book will just be the next chapter in Jax Pavan's ongoing adventure. Not the end, not an out of sequence leap frog. At least that would be my guess._________________

Since the bota's out of the picture, I wonder what the excuse for escaping from Vader will be this time.

In other words the title should be VADER KILLS EVERYONE._________________Hir yw'r dydd a hir yw'r nos, a hir yw aros Arawn.
